Let the cameras roll. Chrisley Knows BestWhile there are certainly dramas on the show, its stars have been at centre of more controversy than any other reality TV show.
Fans met Todd Chrisley, Julie Chrisley their kids — Chase, Savannah Grayson — when the series premiered on USA Network in March 2014. The businessman’s children from his first marriage to Teresa Terry — Lindsie and Kyle — also appeared on early seasons of the show.
However, the former real estate tycoon’s relationships with his older kids broke down as the family became more high-profile. The world soon saw the drama unfolding and the feuds quickly became public.
Lindsie was notified by a social media user in April 2020 when Todd revealed that he had tested positive for COVID-19. She shared the message via her Instagram Story. “Hi Lindsie!” the note read. “Did you see your Dad has Covid? I guess the good guys really do win in the end.”
The “Coffee Convos” podcast cohost fired back at the negative sentiment. “The audacity of some people blows my mind,” she retorted. “This is disgusting. My inbox is flooding with similar messages & I’m not here for it. Get right or get off my page.”
Lindsie went one step further and exclusively told her reaction Us Weekly at the time, “I don’t want anything bad to happen to my father.”
Her attorney, meanwhile, added that the reality star “was very saddened to hear that her father was diagnosed with COVID. She does not feel happy he has the virus.” Todd, for his part, eventually recovered.
Lindsie did not wish her father well, even though she wished him well when he was in the hospital. However, their relationship was never mended. Kyle, however, revealed that he had reconciled with Todd in August 2019, following years of tension.
“My mom [Julie] and dad raised me,” Kyle wrote via Instagram. “I haven’t been the best dad to [daughter] Chloe, I’ve had a problem with drugs, I’ve acted completely ridiculously, and through all that, they have stood by my side. Nine months ago, my dad called me to apologize. His words were ‘I love you always, and you are forgiven’ and just like that, I was welcomed back into his life with open arms. I will always be grateful for his love. [and] graciousness.”
